The Appeal

With its arresting, rounded fibreglass bodywork and sonorous straight-six, the Cerbera Speed Six had a rocky start thanks to the somewhat finicky kit under the bonnet; using a four-litre straight-six cylinder engine, again of TVR's own design, the visceral Speed Six developed 350bhp and even more torque than the 4.2-litre V8 used in its contemporaries. It isn't a car for the faint-hearted!

This 1998 example has been well looked after, as evidenced by a large history file containing invoices and receipts totalling approximately £40,000. In late 2020, it benefited from a full respray and a complete interior retrim, and the vendor states that both remain in great condition, while in 2013 the engine was rebuilt by respected specialist, Central TVR. The vendor tells us that the car starts and runs well, is in standard factory specification, and is great fun to drive.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
